"It was evening. My mother was in the garden quietly pottering, reliving those glorious moments and wonderful, heartwarming words. Gently smiling, she moved among her flowers, basking like a cat in the evening sun and in the memory of the praise of her beloved garden."~C.R.Milne

Wishing you a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend full of good vibes and kindness 🌻

Such a quiet time of year, this teetering between summer and autumn. The trees are streaked with gold in the green, the air is thickening, the birds pausing before their journeys. As I stood here, the only movement was the bubbling water and the occasional leaf spiralling down.

May September be kind to you.
